Why We Represent Unions, Trust Funds & Employees

Long-time labor lawyers Lewis N. Levy and Ralph M. Phillips have teamed up to form Levy Phillips APC, a law firm devoted exclusively to the representation of labor unions, labor-management trust funds, and working people.

This is a time of profound change for the labor movement. Over the past 30 years, the globalization of the economy and advent of new technologies have reshaped the American workforce, presenting new challenges as well as opportunities. Unions, meanwhile, have faced a relentless assault from an array of anti-labor forces, spurring them to redouble their fight for fairness and justice in the workplace. Levy and Phillips have been there through it all, helping unions achieve hard-won victories and protecting the rights of workers at every turn.

Representing Unions

Very few law firms are founded upon social principles. The long and historic legacy of Levy Phillips APC represents a consistent effort to advance the causes of working men and women. Let’s face it, American workers have gotten a bad deal economically and politically, with few exceptions, for decades. Because times are difficult and working people need help, Levy Phillips APC is ready to provide exceptional representation. We believe in principles of collective action and solidarity as the best way to achieve those ends. That is why we see ourselves as, not just an advocate for the labor movement, but as part of the labor movement.

Labor-Management Trust Funds

Equally important to having a good job is having good health care and secure retirement benefits. Since it was signed into law in 1974, ERISA has protected American workers seeking to achieve a healthy and financially secure future for themselves and their families. In these times, government-sponsored healthcare cannot be relied upon to consistently and affordably meet your needs. Levy Phillips APC firmly believes supporting and assisting collectively bargained plans is the most advantageous way to assist our clients receive the benefits they deserve.

Representing employees

As our firm evolves, we remain true to principles of our founder. These principles have guided us as we apply our many years of legal expertise to select individual employee representation cases. We regularly appear in California and Nevada in federal and state courts, appear before various state and federal agencies, and have earned a reputation for litigation excellence in a variety of employment law matters. Proudly, we have held our own against large multi-national corporations, with endless resources, in public and private sectors. We simply know labor, employment, and benefits law inside and out.
